| | |  Half-Blood Prince actor killed (UPDATED)
Rob Knox, an 18 year old actor who had just finished playing Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby in Half-Blood Prince, has been killed. The young actor was stabbed to death in a fight at the Metro bar in Sidcup, Kent, England. He was reported to have just finished filming the sixth movie. Quote:
A Warner Bros spokeswoman said the movie company was "deeply saddened and shocked" by his death and that "our sympathies are with his family."
Three other people were taken to hospital, with one of the individuals being held by police on suspicion of murder.
Our thoughts go out to his friends & family at this tough time.
Thanks to Kaz & Sabrina_Snape for the tip! UPDATE: According to The Guardian Robert had already signed up for Deathly Hallows - since his death six other actors from the Half-Blood Prince cast have visited the place at which he died, to pay their respects. Quote:
"Rob loved acting and loved being part of Harry Potter. We used to go to the karaoke nights at the bar and we'd take the mick out of him by announcing 'Good luck in Harry Potter, Rob' and he used to hide. He didn't like it when we went on about his acting.
"He was so good to everyone about it. He took loads of us up the location where they were shooting it, just to show them what it's like," he added.
Further to that, the Associated Press is reporting that a 21 year old man has been charged with Robert's murder and will appear in court on Tuesday.  | |

How horrible a young man dies probably in a drunken brawl over something stupid. A child is dead, parents have lost their son and he lost his life. I hope the person they arrested is the murderer and have him put away for the rest of his life.

I agree with you about the shocking thing, for London, that seems pretty high.
My prayers goes out to his family and friends, and may swift justice be brought down on his murderer.

They need to find who ever did this! That is just not right for someone that young to be killed. The saddest part is that this happens way more times than it should and that most people dont know about it. This is what happened to my best friends cousin.
I'm gonna cry now when I see him in the sixth movie cause hey finished making it and he died so soon after. He didnt even get to see the movie himself which is also very sad.
I hope the family is ok and if I would help in anyway I could. <3<3<3<3<3

Wow, that's sad. I feel bad for the family. Everyone on the set of HP, please remain safe! I don't want anymore tragedies to happen! It's news like that that reminds me that life is short (especially since I'm also 18, so that hits home for me). R.I.P.

I'm pretty sure the police have taken someone into custody. Quote:

They've finished filming now, and I really don't think that the killer of this boy has anything against Harry Potter actors in general.
Although that was my mother's first guess too.
"Because he was in Harry Potter?! *face to say "if he was I'm never letting you even read a Potter book again!*"
